“Porcelain” is track #7 from Tonedeff’s 2005 album Archetype.
The song is a detailed story of a teenage boy who falls in love with a very popular girl, but never takes any further steps towards it. She only sees him as a friend. After some years though, he finally asks her out. This leads to his heart getting broken, when finding out the girl of his life has no feelings towards him.

This video is a breakdown of the song from a DVD that comes a bonus if you buy the physical version of Archetype. Tonedeff goes through the making of the beat, and dissects the lyrics.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3LamsjFgq0
